WHAT IT DOES

What toggle_spot_margin_trade does on Bybit

AI agents use toggle_spot_margin_trade to create or update resources in Bybit, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Bybit environment.

RISK

Why toggle_spot_margin_trade is rated Medium

This tool enables or disables spot margin trading on the account. It modifies account settings in a reversible way (it can be toggled back), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. However, the severity is high because enabling margin trading can expose the account to significant financial risk — leveraged positions can lead to liquidation and substantial losses if an AI agent misuses this capability.
